You're so close~
Voting is a placebo, but every election is stolen before it's even held. Party members decide who gets to run in the primaries and draw the congressional districts to ensure no third parties could ever hope to win. Actual competition between the parties is limited to battleground states, electors elsewhere have no influence on the outcome.
So, you're right, but not in the way you think. The political establishment pushes an illusion of choice to keep the population from exercising its power.
If you vote with the hope that it will fixes problem by itself, you won't get very far. Voting is sort of the end of a political process, the other end starting in people building political movements. For your vote to mean something, you have to be voting with a political project. So, focus on the political projects: start building the structures that protect people first, without relying on the government's approval. Support your communities of care and build your mutual aid networks. Don't wait for it to be delivered from on high, get with people who also care about the things you care about and start using what you have to build what you can.
So just go give up. You don't need to comment about how hopeless it is, if you aren't fighting the good fight then sit down.
What if they’re fighting the bad fight?
Nobody's fighting the good fight on Lemmy. What do you think this place is? We're not even on the cutting edge of Star Trek memes.
I thought Trump won 2016, and Joe won 2020... But I am not from the U.S., so I could be mistaken.
